Here are the consequences (both intended and unintended) of Putin's Syrian bombing campaign (so far):
1. Delay the fall of the Assad Regime;
2. Prolong the Syrian Civil War;
3. Force more Syrians to flee and
become refugees in the EU (and the US);
4. Provoke more Sunni Muslims to commit acts of Terror (this time, against Russians too);
5. Decrease the Supply of oil;
6. Increase the Price of oil;
7. Increase Russia's oil revenues;
8. Increase Russia's kitty for buying more bombs;
9. Make the World forget Russia's annexation of Crimea and Eastern Ukraine;
10. Force Western special operations missions to coordinate with Russia (or run the risk of being accidentally hit by Russian ordnance);
11. Increase the casualty count of Syrian Turkmen;
12. Force Turkey to retaliate against Russia to avenge Syrian Turkmen casualties;
13. Divide NATO into Pro-Turkey and Anti-Turkey factions; and
14. Kill some IS Militants, once in a while.
